Most of my paper was bought shredded from a recycler who hauls it to Mexico. It came in 1,500# bales. I also asked all my friends to save paper for me and I...
Judith, I was wondering what you were going to do for a floor? I know you still have the roof togo first, but was just curious. Smile and have a great day. PAT...

Judith, if you were to do either, how would you finish the floor? I'm thinking there has to be some kind of surface to it that will keep the dirt from soiling...

Great sight Bob, We were going to put the styro-beads in the papercrete for the bedroom but couldn't find a good way to keep them contained and didn't want...
Doris, have you found a source for the styrofoam beads? I had been thinking of using them too. I know what you mean about the rain and snow. Same here except I...
Hi Judith, no I don't have a source for the beads... Sorry!!! The man up here rigged up a wood chipper to chop up the foam which turned back into the small...
Thanks, that stuff is kind of expensive. Charmaine knows of a guy (I have that info somewhere) who gets the styrofoam for nothing. It's the waste from...
